Originally from just outside Pittsburgh, PA, I made the move to Beaufort back in 2015. I have an extensive background in art education, spent twelve years teaching, and sort of stumbled into the world of photography. Life's twists and turns led me to co-create a boutique with some awesome teacher friends. And in the midst of all the transitions into a new career, I found a camera in my hands and it felt like fate. I found my calling—I finally felt like me. And it has been magical.
More than just snapping pics, I'm all about weaving stories. It's not just about what you see; it's about feeling the vibe, the connections, the emotions. Let's dive into those meaningful moments, together. With my camera in hand, let's capture the magic that's hiding in plain sight.
Forever consumed by wanderlust. Visual storyteller. Art lover & maker.
Hi there, I'm Sarah.
